    For anyone with the all in one box version that has the atmos speaker built into top of front left and front right these can be used
    the all in one version I am talking about is the HT-S7800 that includes the HT-R695 amp

    3 1/4" cones @ 81 dB with a probable 25 Watts.

    Yeah,nah.

      "PMPO" not RMS power.

    Hi OP, I think the above rated power should be Output power in RMS measurement?

    The maximum sound one speaker can produce … in wattage.

      Thanks mate.
      The description is a copy paste from Amazon description.

      This is from Onkyo website:

      Rated Input Power: 25 W

      Max. Input Power: 100 W

      Frequency Response: 90 Hz–20 kHz

      Nominal Impedance: 6 Ohms

      • Yarra Warrior on 23/08/2018 - 10:38

        Aha, screw Amazon AU then, LOL

    • This Guy on 23/08/2018 - 11:09

      Sound 'power' is measured in decibels.

      Output Sound Pressure Level is 84 dB/Wm

      So at 1 meter and 25W input they output 101dB

      At 4 meters and 25W input they output 89dB

      • RedHab on 23/08/2018 - 12:07

        Assuming that's sustained RMS power not funny peak PMPO power.

        • This Guy on 23/08/2018 - 18:04

          They are rated for 25W.

          100W could be considered PMPO.

          The frequency response is the dodgy number. 90Hz - 20kHz would be fine for a driver rating. I would expect a cut off frequency of between 200Hz to 500Hz. In this application 1000Hz could be fine, as I would expect most lower frequencies to pass through most roofs.

      • Dave Id on 24/08/2018 - 15:52
        +1

        The speakers are 81dB.
        Forget anything else.
        They would be competing against my speakers which are 93dB and therefore almost four times as loud (not to mention 150 Watts).
        You are getting roughly what you are paying for. Don't consider it a bargain. Some old second hand speakers from a "3 in 1" would cost $10 and prolly do a better job.

    Tempted. Feedback for seller not the greatest on Amazon.com.au, 25% negative in the last 30days. Seems to come from NZ from some of the comments. Also available from ebay for about the same price from NZ, slightly cheaper shipping, less cashback.

    • Bippz01 on 23/08/2018 - 09:27

      I went through the feedback yesterday. Most cases seemed to be related to postage being late or not express.
      I saw the Ebay deal but they had only 8 in stock.
      Possibly the same seller…..

    I've never understood why these are so expensive, maybe I'm missing something?! I don't have an ATMOS system but to me these look like bog standard, paper cone full-range speakers screwed into cheap, thin chipboard boxes with a simple terminal plate on one side. From the few things I know about Speakers & Hifi I'm pretty sure most people could knock up their own far higher quality pair similar to these for less than $100 all inclusive using pair of Peerless full-range drivers… but then again I'm not 'most people' I suppose ;) Either that or just buy a pair of Voll bookshelf speakers and use them with a couple of small rubber chocks if the baffle angle really is that important. They would wipe the floor with these plus allow you to use them for other things when you eventually dismantle your ATMOS system.

    • ShortyX on 23/08/2018 - 11:43

      I'm not sure either but I agree that they look like simple speakers set at an angle so the sound rebounds from the ceiling.

      I would think that a decent set of bookshelf speakers with a woofer and tweeter (manually placed at an angle) would be better than these. Although, these Onkyo speakers may look neater for a similar effect.

      Ease into Dolby Atmos with these add-on modules
      For most home theater enthusiasts, upgrading to a Dolby Atmos surround sound system means not only adding an Atmos receiver, it also means replacing or adding new speakers. But what if you love your current speakers, and don't want to mount speakers in your ceiling to hear those cool Atmos sound effects? Here's an easy, and affordable, answer — Onkyo's SKH-410 Dolby Atmos enabled add-on speaker modules.

      Bouncing off the ceiling for better surround sound
      How do these compact speaker modules work? It's pretty simple. They connect to your Dolby Atmos receiver's height channels and sit on top of your existing front speakers to deliver engulfing Atmos surround sound. Each module contains a full-range 3-1/4" driver. These drivers are angled upward and feature controlled dispersion, so they can reflect sound off of your ceiling and back down to your listening positions. Use a pair of '410s with your front speakers, plus add a second pair to your rear surround speakers for an even more enveloping experience. Anti-vibration rubber feet are included to protect your speakers' finish. And Onkyo includes brackets for wall mounting your modules, if you prefer.

      Agree. Unless you really need this ATmos stuff, I would suggest just using simple bookshelf speakers. I bought a couple of Mission bookshelfs for $50 via FB. Connected them up to a bluetooth ampplifier ($10) and now I have a pair of excellent speakers which are highly functional. They look super cool without any tangles of wires with a single plug.

    • NeggerOfDeals on 23/08/2018 - 12:07

      I can't speak for these specific speakers but I have the Panasonic Pioneer atmos addons and my sound has never been sexier. With studios opting to only include Atmos in their UHD releases, Atmos is only for the hardcore sound enthusiasts at the moment.

      When Atmos was first introduced into the market, you couldn't buy speakers here in Australia. I had to import mine from Amazon US.

      • Typical16-bitEnjoyer on 23/08/2018 - 12:30

        Not quite true, a few bluray releases have ATMOS, Ghost in the Shell, Atomic Blonde

          Think he's meaning currently opting.
          They've been leaving it off of A LOT of current releases to force you to buy the UHD copy to get the extra audio :(

    I have a set of these, they are decent and provide good overhead effects, but not as good as proper in-ceiling speakers.

    If you have cathedral/high ceiling these won't work.

    If you own your place, and not adverse to installing into the ceiling (which is simple as) something like this is far better and cheaper

    The debate between overhead and "bouncy house" ATMOS speakers is interesting. If bouncy house (Atmos-Enabled) one's are angled "perfectly" some say they can be better, providing a feeling of the speaker being higher than the ceiling. It's to do with the origin point being reflected, sound travelling further and something also with human's knowing the sound is coming from above but further away than the ceiling. E.G if you have music playing in a room, then walk down a hallway into another room, it'll sound like it's really far away and coming from the hallway, but that's the "reflection point" but you think it's coming from there until you walk into the hallway, then turn your head towards the source to realise it's not coming from there and further again. But whether or not you want the rain on a roof to sound 4 meters away or just 2 is also a difference, as well as a plane flying over is closer better or not?

    I gave up on looking into the whole reflection based approach and just bought some in-ceiling speakers, grabbed a plaster saw and chopped away.
    FINAL RESULTS demoed here with my dog chasing birds around the room trying to catch the sound, it's next level stuff, and I can't go back. My receiver will even upmix non-Atmos, This works really well on a 5.1ch signal, great for gaming.

    Next thing to do in the home theatre is some acoustic panels as I want no reflections in the current setup, and having plain plaster walls isn't ideal.

    NEGATIVE of Atmos is it being NEW and clarity of support is shit house.
    Almost all new movies coming out today are ATMOS, but that mix only makes it onto the UHD Blu-Ray discs now more often than the standard Blu-Ray.
    There are Games on Xbox One which have full Atmos support, and more newer games to come. But ones like Rise of the Tomb Raider which has Atmos, is only for the Xbox One X… nowhere do they outline that the One S will simply not send that extra audio out, like it does in other games that support it.

    So it's AMAZING when you can get it, like seriously so immersive, but getting content (unless you're rich af) is a struggle.

    • alvian on 23/08/2018 - 13:49

      Your rear surrounds are mounted too high on the walls. They are supposed to be at ear level. https://www.dolby.com/us/en/guide/dolby-atmos-speaker-setup/…

      • camshandez on 23/08/2018 - 15:06

        It's not as simple as that… ideally yes if I only wanted to use the three seater couch I would move tweeters to ear level.

        However, as there are the two recliners I don't want to make whoever is sitting there literally deaf so I've pushed the speakers to the "limit" of Dolby and THX Standards (taking into consideration 5.1 specs, for non Atmos Content). Every angle and measurement was taken into consideration when choosing placement for each speaker in the room.

        Page 8 of the "Dolby Atmos® Home Theater Installation Guidelines" here will also outline Rear Surrounds are allowed to be higher than ear level.
        This however in my setup puts me at 289mm of wiggle room up, and I had to go higher than that.

        So I drew more from other basic 5.1 standards, considering most media consumed is non-Atmos tuned:

        All of this is working to a room, not working a room to a setup. To acheive a "hybrid' if you will, mix of Surround Speaker guidelines.

    • swampson on 23/08/2018 - 15:10

      hi mate, you have a cool setup (i have nothing, but looking to establish something soon enough, once i've researched).

      So, no criticism intended - as I have no idea how this all works .. I guess i just assumed having a larger room would help acoustics and spatial audio really come in to play. How do you find your room size impacts the capacity of your setup to take full advantage of the sound technologies your kit provides?

      What are you thoughts on room size and spkr placement, in that regard?

      also "My receiver will even upmix non-Atmos, This works really well on a 5.1ch signal, great for gaming."
      What receiver have you got? (I have just received a STR-DN1080 as part of a 'customer service' issue, so a lot to learn about how this all works!)

      • camshandez on 23/08/2018 - 15:37

        Hey Swampson,

        Thank you :)

        Yeah, a larger room would have been better, for sure longer would have been ideal as well to have been able to do a 7.1.2 setup and minimise direct reflections behind head (have some curtains up for now). Also take THX and other "visual" orientated guidelines into account for Screen size, peripheral vision coverage and clarity from seating distance.

        Linked in response to alvain above, you can read pretty much everything Atmos related in their Dolby Atmos® Home Theater Installation Guidelines"
        But I encourage you to also look into other standards, and don't forget DTS:X which is the same as Dolby Atmos (as in having Presence Channels) but completely different again in speaker placement. And in the case of 5.1 and 7.1 there are angles at which surround speakers are to be placed at which can differ (slightly more relaxed as don't have worries for presence/height channels), so you need to think about what type of media (5.1 or Atmos) you're going to be listening to mostly.

        Finally… everyone has an opinion and will say "well Dolby says between these angles, but it "HAS TO BE" this or it'll sound shit" on different forums and what not, but in the end it comes down to your budget and if you're building a room for a setup, or a setup for a room.

        I'm incredibly happy with my room, never heard anything better, and that's just it.
        I've never been in a Ferrari, so to me, my 350z is a super fast car.
        You can buy a $1500 Yamaha setup like mine and think it sounds amazing, or get a Klipsch Reference package for the $10,000 mark setup, or way more.

        At the end of the day just do whatever you need to do to enjoy the room.
